Leonid Meteor Shower Nov 2009

I feel like it is foolish to even try to put into words the night I just had. It was incredible and I want to be able to share it with everyone, so maybe I'll try to explain some of it. We of course knew that the meteor shower was going on and we were all pretty excited. We had heard it was supposed to be a big one; nothing like it in years. Since we live at the beach, it was a perfect meeting spot for anyone who wanted to come watch with us. We ended up with a good amount of people too: Me, Jon, Andrew, Dru, Asuka, Lauren Chinnery, Jess, Lexi, and two new friends Dave and Kyle.

Even with two people I had literally just met, the group dynamic was perfect. It felt like I have been friends with them just as long as anyone, and it is always great to meet anyone you can feel that way about. We pre-gamed in the apartment for a couple hours, and went out to see some meteors at about 2 a.m. (after we jammed to some more R. Kelly, and I don't joke when I say he lifts us up).

We went to the end of the island where it is super dark. It was incredible. I have never seen stars like that in my life. Not even on a desert mountain in California. There were so so many! It was beautiful. We saw a lot of shooting stars, and about 3 meteors that literally lit up the sky! So mind blowing! There was even one that shot parallel to the horizon over the water! It was cold, but you couldn't ask for a more perfect night. We did some group huddles, which sounds corny, but we were feeling good, and they just completed our night.

Wow. Way to go Universe.

"What time is it?" "Meteor Shower!" "What time is it?!" "Meteor Shower"
"Who are we?!" "Meteor Shower!"

R. Stevens has an R. Kelly morning.

It has been a long time since all members of Randal Stevens were together under one roof. Thankfully, today, that has changed that and we are here on this Sunday afternoon lovin it. So that said, here we go.....Real Talk:

R. Kelly definitely thinks that he can say whatever he wants and it'll sound cool just because he is the one who said. This is pretty apparent when you listen to some of his song lyrics. Which, here, at Randal Stevens, we absolutely love. Today R. Stevens had an R. Kelly morning. An R. Kelly, Sunday morning, which has been declared by the boys to be church. R. Kelly church. I don't totally disagree though. We are feelin good and uplifted and these boys really love R. Kelly and I really love them. We got R. Kelly bumpin and I hope the people upstairs are jammin along with us.
